Was there another frame that was almost identical to that?(no CW stamping)

I do remember seeing a frame not too long ago that looks bloody similar to this one, not sure about the overall dimensions being the same, but I think the foot stand was almost identical....I'll have a hunt around for a pic
Can't wait to see this bad boy all painted up... It will be to nice to build
get em pressed in by the LBS
Local Bike Shop
Thing is though - how much do you trust your local bike shop with your new frame after it's been through approximately £400 worth of resto work ? Think i'd be putting the bearing cups in myself maybe with the help of a mate if you need a spare set of hands in the process Here's how I do it..........1. Use a dremmel to clean the insides of the bottom bracket hanger of any overspray.2. Pop the bearing cups in a food baggy and sit them in the freezer for a couple of hours.3. Grease the bottom bracket hanger & the cups.4. Give them a gentle tap with a rubber or wooden mallet to start them off.5. Press them in using a home made press ( short length of 10mm threaded bar with some drilled thick plate and a couple of 10mm washers & nuts)Simple
fingers crossed on the chroming fella,its a fookin lottery i tell thee.i cant wait to see this one finished,ive always cw's in all shapes and forms
Bike in for mirror polish

May not be quite as bling-a-ding-ding as the chrome underneath but surely better than silver powder underneath - especially if it's being professionally polished Just a thought
